GP

Are you a motivated GP looking to develop your career within an innovative primary care network (PCN) setting? Beauchamp House Surgery is seeking a dynamic salaried GP to join our multi-disciplinary team as part of a wider PCN, focusing on improving outcomes for our most vulnerable patients through managing frailty and preventing unnecessary hospital admissions.

The position is for 6 sessions per week, looking after patients from our Beauchamp House and Baddow Village Surgeries.  You will be required to work on a Tuesday, a Thursday and a Friday.

This role offers the opportunity to work across two practices, delivering proactive, holistic care for patients with complex needs, particularly those living with frailty. You will be a key player in a growing ARRS team, collaborating closely with multidisciplinary colleagues including GPs, nurses, pharmacists, paramedics, a digital and transformation manager, social prescribers, general practice assistants and care coordinators.

This is an excellent opportunity to grow your clinical skills while making a tangible difference in your local community. If you want to be part of a forward-thinking PCN delivering improved care for vulnerable patients, we would love to hear from you.
